License Status Monitor
Use
Use this function for viewing the license status of your form designs in your SAP system.
Adobe Designer enables form authors to create new form designs or customize previously developed form designs. The form design provides the presentation or layout for the data, including formatting information such as font size, alignment, field logic, and graphics. The data from your SAP system populates the form design and determines what the final output will contain when Adobe document services processes the form design and data. The output can be either interactive forms or print forms.
The Document Services License Service keeps track of all unlicensed interactive form designs in your SAP system. For more information on licensing of Adobe document services, see SAP Note 750784.
Features
The Document Services License Service checks the license status of interactive form designs in your SAP system on a daily basis.
The License Compliance indicator displays:
● A red light, which means that you require a license. See your SAP account representative to obtain a license to use SAP Interactive Forms.
● A green light, which means that your system is licensed. The green light appears in the case where you do not have a license and there are no customized forms, or where you are within your license agreement.
Forms are classified and displayed as:
● Customer Forms, the total number of your forms.
● SAP Forms, the total number of original SAP forms.
● Draft Forms, the total number of forms in a draft state. Draft forms are forms that are not currently in production and therefore do not count as a licensed/unlicensed form.
